Asphalt batch plant is a specialized type of machinery used in the construction industry for the production of asphalt mixture. The term “batch” in the plant’s name indicates that it operates in batches. It means that specific quantities of raw materials are fed into the plant’s system at predefined intervals to produce a batch of asphalt mixture in 45s or 60s.
Well, the raw materials, include aggregates (such as sand, stone, and gravel), bitumen (a binder or asphalt cement), and sometimes filler materials. They are carefully proportioned and fed into the plant for asphalt mixture production. It is used for various applications such as road construction, highways, airports, and more. In the following paragraph, you can check its wide applications below.
Wide Applications of Asphalt Batch Plants
- Road Construction: The batch mix asphalt plant is extensively used in building roads, highways, and expressways. It can produce high-quality asphalt mixture for laying road surfaces with the feature of durable and smooth.
- Airport Construction: In general, the area of the airport, it has high-standard requirements for the roads, especially for the runways, taxiways, and aprons. The batch asphalt plant can provide the consistent and strong asphalt surfaces needed for airport infrastructure.
- Bridge Construction: In bridge construction, the asphalt mixture is usually for the construction of bridge decks and approaches. Due to the importance of transporting, it should ensure the longevity and load-bearing capacity of bridge decks. Using the asphalt mixture produced by the asphalt batching plant is the best choice.
- Rural Roads: In rural areas, the mobile asphalt batch mix plants are used to construct and maintain roads connecting remote regions to urban centers. These roads are vital for transportation, commerce, and access to essential services.
- Maintenance and Repairs: Asphalt batch plants are not only used for new construction but also for maintenance and repair work. Generally, we adopt the mobile asphalt plant batch type for resurfacing and patching damaged road sections in different areas.
Of course, the application of asphalt plants is not limited to the above listed, they may applied to these fields, like industrial facilities, residential construction, parking lots, sports facilities, etc. AIMIX, as the well-known asphalt batch mix plant manufacturers, has exported many units of asphalt batch plants to global customers.

How to Choose A Suitable Asphalt Batch Plant for Construction Project?
Selecting a suitable asphalt batch mixing plant in AIMIX involves careful consideration of various factors to ensure that the batch asphalt plant meets your specific requirements and project goals. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you make an informed decision:
Project Requirements
Project Size
Determine the scale of your construction project. Smaller projects may require a smaller capacity asphalt batch plant, while larger projects will need a plant with higher production capacity. AIMIX has divided the capacity into three kinds as follows（according to 8 working hours per day）:
- Small capacity: 40 and 60 t/h ( 320 tons per day / 480 tons per day)
- Medium capacity: 80, 100, 120, 160, 200 t/h ( 640t, 800t, 960t, 1280t, 1600 t/day )
- Large capacity: 320 and 400 t/h ( 2560 t and 3200 t/day )
Project Location
Consider the location and accessibility of your project site. If the road construction site is nearby, choose the stationary asphalt batch mix plant – ALQ series. It can’t move once installed on-site.
If it’s in a remote area, a mobile asphalt batch plant may be more suitable for easy transport and setup. Just consider the ALYQ series. Here are some introductions to two kinds of asphalt batch mix plants.
ALQ Series Stationary Asphalt Batching Plant
- The AIMIX ALQ series asphalt batching plant represents a range of stationary asphalt plants designed for the production of high-quality hot mix asphalt (HMA). Its capacity ranges from 40 t/h to 320 t/h. Models are ALQ40, ALQ60, ALQ80, ALQ100, ALQ120, ALQ160, ALQ180, ALQ200, ALQ240, and ALQ320.
- With substantial production capacity, it is more suitable for long-term construction projects requiring a continuous supply of asphalt, like highway construction, expressways, municipal roads, bridges, tunnels, parking lots, manufacturing facilities, logistics centers, etc.
- The ALQ Series features a modular design, allowing for ease of transportation, installation, and potential expansion.
- In addition, advanced control systems enable precise regulation of aggregate, filler, and bitumen ratios, ensuring consistent and superior mix quality.
